PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON

When President Wilson arrived in Paris in 1919, he brought with him a peace plan known as the Fourteen Points. Wilson presented the plan to Congress in January 1918 to explain the goals of the U.S. in the war. The president believed that if the Fourteen Points were implemented, they would establish the conditions for a lasting peace in Europe.
